2. What is a Healthy Diet? Atkins Diet? Vegetarian/Vegan? Zone Diet? Macrobiotic? South Beach Diet? Juicing? Food Combining? Metabolic Typing? All Raw? Even Lisa is confused!

3. Or is it the US Government Official Diet...... designed to promote the products of commodity agriculture?

57. Natural Beauty Individual beauty is a matter of both design of the face and regularity and perfection of the teeth. Nature always builds harmoniously if conditions are sufficiently favorable, regardless of race, color or location Weston A. Price, DDS

58. Some had no plant foods Some had few animal foods Some had mostly cooked foods Some had large amounts of raw foods Some had milk products; some did not Some had grains; some did not Some had fruits; some did not What are the underlying characteristics of these healthy diets? Great Variety in Traditional Diets

59. 1.No refined or denatured foods Refined and Denatured Food Components 1930's Refined Sugar White Flour Vegetable Oils Canned Foods Condensed Milk Refined and Denatured Food Components Today Refined Sugar High Fructose Corn Syrup White Flour Pasteurized Milk Skim and Low Fat Milk Hydrogenated Fats Refined Vegetable Oils Isolated Protein Powders Additives

60. Factory foods are not Mother Nature’s foods! “Life in its fullness is Mother Nature obeyed.” Weston A. Price, DDS

61. FISH AND SHELLFISH: including organs, oil, bones, heads, etc. Weston Price found the best bone structure among those eating seafood BIRDS: Chicken, ducks, geese, etc., including the organs, fat and skin. RED MEAT: Beef, goat, sheep, game, etc., with ORGAN MEATS and FAT preferred. MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS EGGS REPTILES INSECTS 2. Every diet contained animal products

62. THESE NUTRIENTS ARE FOUND ONLY IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS Vitamin A Vitamin D Cholesterol Vitamin B12 Very Long Chain, Superunsaturated fatty acids (AA, EPA and DHA) Animal Food Nutrients THESE NUTRIENTS ARE MORE EASILY ABSORBED FROM ANIMAL PRODUCTS Calcium B6 Magnesium Iron Zinc Copper

63. Vitamin B12 Deficiency EARLY SIGNSPSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS CHRONIC DISEASE FatigueDepressionMultiple sclerosis Tingling in hands and feet Obsessive- compulsion Anemia Sleep disordersManic- depression Cancer Irrational angerDementia/ Alzheimer’s Heart disease

64. Vitamin B12 ONLY IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS: Usable vitamin B12 is found only in animal products. Analogs in soy foods or blue- green algae actually increase body’s need for B12. ABSORPTION DIFFICULT: Absorbed through a complex process involving an “intrinsic factor,” secreted in the stomach. VEGETARIANS AND THE ELDERLY: Deficiencies are most likely to appear in VEGETARIANS, who do not consume animal products, and in the ELDERLY and those deficient in hydrochloric acid or pancreatic enzymes, who cannot produce or use the intrinsic factor. PASTEURIZATION: B-12 is almost completely destroyed by pasteurization.

66. Cow Products Products that come from cows Even strict vegans cannot escape dependence on animal products.

67. The Origins of the Modern High-Fiber, Vegetarian Dietary Movement JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG (1852-1943), Seventh Day Adventist who promoted a high- fiber, vegetarian diet to combat the twin evils of constipation and “natural urges.” Preached against sexual activity, even in marriage! SYLVESTER GRAHAM (1794-1851) advocated a whole grain, vegetarian diet to promote chastity and curb lust. Preached that excessive sexual desire caused disease. The Food Puritans!

68. 3. Dr. Price’s Key Finding Primitive Diets contain 4 times the calcium and other minerals, and 10 times the fat-soluble vitamins as the modern American diet.

69. Sources of Vitamins A and D SEAFOODS Fish Eggs Fish Livers Fish Liver Oil Fish Heads Shell Fish Oily Fish Sea Mammals LAND ANIMALS GRASS-FED! Insects Butter and Cream Egg Yolks Liver, Organ Meats Animal Fat (Especially mono-gastric animals such as (birds, pig, bear, Guinea pig)

70. A question arises as to the efficiency of the human body in removing all of the minerals from the ingested foods. Extensive laboratory determinations have shown that most people cannot absorb more than half of the calcium and phosphorus from the foods eaten. The amounts utilized depend directly on the presence of other substances, particularly fat-soluble vitamins. It is at this point probably that the greatest breakdown in our modern diet takes place, namely, in the ingestion and utilization of adequate amount of the special activating substances, including the vitamins [A and D] needed for rendering the minerals in the food available to the human system. It is possible to starve for minerals that are abundant in the foods eaten because they cannot be utilized without an adequate quantity of the fat-soluble activators. Weston Price, DDS Nutrition and Physical Degeneration The Fat-Soluble Activators A and D

71. Bricks and Mortar The body is like a house or temple, built of bricks and mortar Bricks = Minerals Mortar = Fat-Soluble Activators A and D

72. Conversion of Beta-Carotene to Vitamin A

73. Needed to Convert Carotene to Vitamin A Fats in the dietThyroid Hormone Enzymes (as yet unknown)Vitamin E Conversion & storage is difficult or impossible for BABIES AND CHILDREN DIABETICS Individuals with poor thyroid function Individuals with poor liver function Individuals with poor intestinal absorption Individuals with high intake of sodium nitrites and nitrates Individuals exposed to pesticides and other toxins Individuals who consume lots of carotene Even under optimal conditions, plant sources of carotene cannot supply sufficient vitamin A for optimum health. Conversion Problems

Cholesterol, the Mother of All Hormones Pregnenolone Progesterone DOC Corticosterone 18OH Aldosterone Corticosterone Pregnenolone Progesterone 11 Deoxycortisol Cortisol DHEA Androstenedione Estradiol Testosterone ACTH Cholesterol Note: Vitamin A is needed for each conversion. Trans fats inhibit enzymes that make these conversions.

76. Pig Study

77. Stress Excess Dietary Protein Cold Weather Fever and Illness Physical Exertion Exposure to Toxins Vitamin A Stores are Depleted by

78. Dioxins and Vitamin A DIOXINS DEPLETE vitamin A stores in the liver. Vitamin A protects against dioxins - almost 80 scientific papers on the interaction of dioxins and vitamin A - take your cod liver oil! FISH EATERS in Japan do not have high levels of dioxin in the blood, meaning that there are protective factors in the diet. CHLOROPHYLL prevents absorption of dioxin from the intestinal tract - eat your greens!

79. Vitamin D Myth MYTH - To get adequate vitamin D, just expose your face and hands to sunlight for 10 minutes every day. TRUTH - The body makes one form of vitamin D out of cholesterol by the action of UV- B sunlight on the skin. However, except in the Tropics, UV-B is available only at MID- DAY during the SUMMER months.

80. Vitamin D Food Sources All healthy primitive groups, including those living in the tropics, had rich dietary sources of vitamin D. Fish liver oils Shell fish Insects Butterfat Egg yolks Organ meats Fat of birds Fat of pigs

81. Roles of Vitamin D Healthy bones Proper growth Mineral metabolism Muscle tone Reproduction Healthy Skin Insulin production Immune system Nervous system Cell Function Feel good chemicals Longevity

82. Synthetic Vitamin D 2 MADE FROM VEGETARIAN SOURCES OPPOSITE EFFECT TO ANIMAL SOURCE D 3 Causes softening of the hard tissues (bones) Hardening of the soft tissues (organs, arteries). ADDED TO PROCESSED VEGETARIAN FOODS Soy MilkRice Milk Oat MilkAlmond Milk

83. Vitamin A and D Toxicity? BALANCE: When vitamin D is low, vitamin A can be toxic, even at low doses; when A is low, vitamin D can be toxic. ADEQUATE VITAMIN D: With adequate vitamin D - about 1000 IU per day - vitamin A is not toxic even at very high doses. VITAMIN A FORTIFICATION: Fortification of lowfat milk, cereals, etc. with vitamin A in northern countries, such as Sweden, where vitamin D intakes are inadequate, has led to osteoporosis. BEST RATIO: The ratio of A to D in cod liver oil should be at 10 to 1 or less. Many brands of cod liver oil contain almost no vitamin D, which is removed during processing. HIGH VITAMIN COD LIVER OIL: Available through our recommended suppliers, has good A/D ratios, and supplies a good level of vitamin A in small amounts of cod liver oil.

90. They’re Happy Vitamin D in lard helps the body make neuro- chemicals that protect against depression.

91. Price Factor or Activator X CATALYST: Discovered by Weston Price, a potent catalyst for vitamin and mineral absorption. GROWTH: Important factor in the growth of children; has potent curative powers. SACRED FOODS: Found in foods considered sacred by primitive populations--liver and other organ meats from grazing cattle; marine oils, fish eggs and shellfish; and butter from cows eating rapidly growing green grass. BASIS: Green growing plants which have an unknown factor that animals transform and store in certain fatty tissues. PRIMITIVE DIETS: All healthy primitive groups had a source of the Price Factor in their diets.

92. Activator X = Vitamin K 2 ANIMAL FORM: K2 is the animal form of vitamin K, made from K1, the plant form GROWTH: Plays important role, especially in facial development. (Sign of deficiency: Underdevelopment of middle third of the face.) BONES AND TEETH: Needed for deposition of phosphorus and calcium in bones and teeth HEART DISEASE: Prevents calcification and inflammation of the arteries BRAIN: Involved in synthesis of myelin sheath; supports learning capacity REPRODUCTION: Vital for normal reproduction

93. The Synergy of Vitamins A, D and K Vitamin K activates proteins after signaling by Vitamins A and D Vitamins A and D tell cells to make certain proteins

94. Food Sources of Vitamin K TESTED SOURCES Natto (fermented soy) Goose Liver Cheeses Egg Yolk Butter Chicken Liver Fatty Meats Sauerkraut OTHER PROBABLE SOURCES Goose, Duck and Chicken Fat Crustacean “Butter” (Hepatopancreas) Bone Marrow Other Organ Meats Fish Eggs Fermented Cod Liver Oil

95. Peruvian Girl Peruvian Girl with Dried Fish Eggs... “for healthy babies.” Activator X Vitamin A Vitamin D Zinc Iodine Special Fatty Acids All essential to healthy reproduction.

96. High-Vitamin Cod Liver Oil and High-Vitamin Butter Oil Dr. Weston Price found that high-vitamin cod liver oil (source of vitamins A and D) given with high-vitamin butter oil (source of vitamin K) was a very powerful combination for mineral absorption. He used this combination to treat tooth decay, bone and growth problems, arthritis and many other disease conditions. If butter oil is not available, include other sources of vitamin K in the diet when taking cod liver oil.

97. How Much Cod Liver Oil?. VITAMIN AVITAMIN D Maintenance Dose10,000 IU*1000 IU Pregnancy and Lactation 20,000 IU2000 IU Illness or Recovery from Surgery Up to 90,000 IU for short period 9000 IU Babies and Children5000 IU500 IU From 1 teaspoon high-vitamin CLO or 2 teaspoons regular cod liver oil. Use only WAPF-recommended brands.

98. Taking Cod Liver Oil MIX WITH WATER, FRESH JUICE OR CREAM: Much easier than taking CLO on a spoon! Give to babies in an eye dropper BOOKS ON INFANT FEEDING: Before 1950, recommended 2 teaspoons cod liver oil for babies 3 months and older. SYNERGY: Cod liver oil works synergistically with saturated fat. The best combination is cod liver oil in a diet containing butter from grass-fed cows. HIGH-VITAMIN BUTTER OIL: Recommended in addition to CLO for pregnant, nursing women and those with health problems.

99. Key Nutrients for Brain Development VITAMIN A: Cod Liver Oil, Liver, Butter and Egg Yolks from Grass-Fed Animals VITAMIN D: Cod Liver Oil, Lard, Butter and Egg Yolks from Grass-Fed Animals VITAMIN K: Butter, Egg Yolks and Organ Meats from Grass-Fed Animals CHOLINE: Liver, Egg Yolks DHA: Cod Liver Oil, Liver, Butter, Egg Yolks ZINC: Red Meat, Shell Fish

102. 4. All cultures cooked some or most of their food… but they always ate some of their animal foods raw.

103. Examples of Raw Animal Foods Raw milk, butter and cream Raw cheeses Raw and marinated fish Raw shellfish (oysters, etc.) Traditional ethnic raw meat dishes (steak tartare, carpaccio, kibbeh, etc.)

107. Types of Enzymes METABOLIC (1,000s discovered) Delta desaturase Superoxide dismutase Gluththione peroxidase Catalase Lysyl oxidase DIGESTIVE (about 22) Pancreatin Pepsin Trypsin Lactase Galactase Phosphatase FOOD (3 types) Amalyses Lipases Proteases When the diet contains food enzymes, the body is spared from making some digestive enzymes and therefore has more energy. Food enzymes are destroyed at 118 o F wet heat, 150 o F dry heat.

108. Examples of Enzyme-Rich Foods Raw dairy products Raw meat and fish Raw honey Tropical fruits Cold pressed oils (extra virgin olive oil) Wine and unpasteurized beer Lacto-fermented (enzyme enhanced) vegetablesfruits meatsfish dairy productsbeverages

109. Beneficial Bacteria OLD PARADIGM: Healthy human body is sterile and microbes attack it, making us sick. NEW PARADIGM: Healthy human body lives in symbiotic relationship with microorganisms. SIX POUNDS of healthy bacteria in our digestive tract Digest our food Assist in assimilation Create nutrients Protect us against toxins Help us feel good Without good bacteria, we are dead!

111. Lacto-Fermented Condiments provide enzymes and good bacteria Beet relish Ginger carrots Cortido (spicy So. American sauerkraut) Pineapple chutney Raspberry syrup Apricot butter
